[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I hope not. I enroll my kids in a jewish school because I want them to make predominantly jewish friends, and to be in an environment where jewish people are the majority.[/quote]

This makes me sad and I hope it's not how most people feel. I joined a jewish sorority in college. I am episcopalian but grew up with many jews and always joke I'm a friend of the chosen people. Also, jews are 1% of the world's population, right? And less than 5% in the USA? Don't y'all get bored?  [/quote]

Why would this make you sad? You call yourself an Episcopalian--Episcopalians themselves apart from others to attend Episcopalian churches--does this make you sad? The existences of churches of specific denominations? Are you wringing your hands with worry over their bordom?
The "chosen people" line is a trope that non allies like to tell people that Jewish people say--they don't 
--a non Jew who is an ally of Jewish people in this era very deliberately[/quote]

Using Episcopalians is a bad example. They’re super welcoming of anyone. They’re just glad you’re there. [/quote]

As long as you bring donuts, like music, and don't talk about religion![/quote]
